your done![]()
You need to do the unlock/reg hack to make it think its a HD7 else it will never download anything from market place.
If wifi isn't working on the HD2, remove the sd card and try another (some sd cards F*** up the wifi).
Hey guys,
Solve all the issues and get the working market place.
There are three major issues all are facing:
1. Getting activation code.
2. Device not being detected by ChevronWP7
3. Market place gives error while trying to install free apps.
A1. See if you find any friends in USA or UK and get the activation codes for you. I hope a key generator will be released soon.
A2. Its due to time and date not be set correctly in device. If you have crashing issue, Make sure hosts file in windows/system32/drivers/ext isn't readonly.
A3 If it isn't working try to make a new live account and use USA as location.
Here is the kit I have made for activating WP7 on HD2. Make sure you have to activation code already
Best Regards

HowTo Prevent the relocking of the phone AFTER unlocking by chevron.
This is discussed elsewhere, but deep within other threads, so I wanted to give it it's own thread to help people in finding out how to prevent Zune from relocking WP7 devices. It only works on HTC devices for now because TouchXplorer only works for HTC devices.
1. Install TouchXplorer
2. Install HTC Connection Setup
3. Download and extract this zip file to your PC.
4. Deploy the extracted XAP to your device
5. On your device, using TouchXplorer, copy \My Documents\My Ringtones\CustClear.provxml to \Windows\
6. On your device, run HTC Connection Setup, hit the check button to let it provision.
7. You're done.

Unlimited app's sideloaded
I've finally reach 10 unsigned app on my phone. Took way longer that I thought...
This is not new for anyone who's not spending time asking for unlock key, but I've made a small app to automate the process of pushing the limit to 100000.
Here it is: http://bit.ly/e8KCYQ
1. Download the app.
2. Deploy the .xap.
3. Run the application.
4. Ready
Work on my HTC, may work on other device as well (let me know).
